There are now ski schools in almost every ski resort. Even small ski resorts with only a few kilometres of slopes usually have a ski school where beginners can learn their first turns on the slopes or advanced skiers can perfect their skills. However, before going to the ski school, some winter sports enthusiasts often have a few questions. SnowTrex<\/a> has therefore compiled 7 facts about ski schools.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Who should go to ski school<\/h2>\n

Anyone who has never stood on skis or a snowboard before should attend an appropriate course at a ski school. Here you can learn how to ski or snowboard under professional guidance. This is essential for your own safety as well as for the safety of others on the piste. Every winter sports beginner is advised not to let a family member or friend “teach” them how to ski or snowboard. As a rule, the training that ski instructors have cannot be replaced by well-intentioned instructions or advice from a winter sports enthusiast without such training.<\/p>\n

If you are already an advanced skier and would like to improve your skills in deep snow or on a ski tour, for example, we also recommend a corresponding course. There are also numerous offers for this.<\/p>\n

2. Age limits for ski schools<\/h2>\n

Most ski courses are offered from the age of 3. This means that even the youngest children can make their first turns on the piste at an early age under professional guidance. If you have younger children, some ski resorts also offer the option of having your little ones looked after in so-called ski kindergartens. There may not be any skiing for them yet, but mum and dad can enjoy the slopes to the fullest.<\/p>\n

3. Find the right ski school<\/h2>\n

The question of the right ski school depends largely on your own wishes and requirements. Should it be a children’s ski course or an adult ski course (learn to ski over age 30<\/a>)? A beginners course or an advanced course? Do you need to hire equipment? Should it be a group ski course or a private ski course? Basically, almost every ski school in the larger ski resorts offers all of these options. At the end of the day, it’s simply a price comparison or personal preference that counts.<\/p>\n

4. Duration of the ski course<\/h2>\n

How long a ski course lasts depends entirely on what skills you already have, how capable you are of learning and whether you have booked a group or individual ski course. With an individual ski course, the supervision is of course much more personalised, which may also speed up learning success, but on the other hand you usually pay considerably more. Here, too, it is important to weigh up the options and, above all, to practise diligently. Practice makes perfect and can shorten the ski course! As a general rule, you should plan at least 3 days for a group ski course for beginners.<\/p>\n

5. Cost of the ski course<\/h2>\n

The cost of a ski course depends on whether a group or private ski course has been booked. For a three-day group ski course, prices start at around \u20ac80 and go up to around \u20ac200 – depending on the ski resort. For private lessons, you should budget at least \u20ac150 per day.<\/p>\n

6. Booking a ski course<\/h2>\n

You can either book a ski course on site or in advance with your ski holiday. The advantage of booking through the tour operator is that they can often offer discounts due to co-operations. You often save 5 to 10% of the regular price.<\/p>\n
